Frequently Asked Questions
What day and time do your services take place?
Services are held every Friday at 6:00 PM and every Saturday at 10:00 AM. On Saturdays, our service consists of two parts: the first part is for group Bible study (Sabbath School) at 10:00 AM, followed by the main worship service with a sermon starting at 11:10 AM. You are welcome to join us at any part. For a detailed schedule of services and small groups, please visit the Service Schedule page.
I’m not an Adventist (and rarely go to church). Can I still come?
Absolutely. You won’t be asked to stand up, introduce yourself, or come forward. You can simply take a seat and listen. Answers to other frequently asked questions for guests can be found on our I’m New Here page.
What is the dress code for your services?
There is no strict dress code: no one is judged or turned away based on what they wear, though most people choose to dress smartly. Women are not required to cover their heads. For more details, visit our I’m New Here page.
Can I bring my kids, and will they enjoy it?
Yes. During Sabbath School (Saturdays, 10:00–11:00 AM), age-appropriate classes are available where children learn Bible stories through games and crafts. For mothers with infants, there is a dedicated nursing room next to the main sanctuary. The lighting and sound inside are dimmed to create a comfortable environment for babies to sleep. For more details, visit our I’m New Here page.
How is your church different from other Christian churches?
We are part of the global Protestant Seventh-day Adventist Church. The Bible alone is the foundation of our faith. We believe in the upcoming return of Jesus Christ and celebrate the Sabbath (Saturday) as a day of fellowship with God and rest from daily labors.
Is there any cost to attend?
No, all our services are completely free. During the main Saturday service, voluntary offerings are collected, and participation is strictly at each person’s own discretion and ability.
